Chapter 336: Now is still a good time to kneel down and take on a master_1

“Jiang Siyu, jade artifacts intermediate assessment score: 20 points, fail!”

“Xu Gang, jade artifacts intermediate assessment score: 40 points, fail!”

“Fu Dahong, jade artifacts intermediate assessment score: 30 points, fail…”

Just like the calligraphy and painting category, the person in charge announced several candidates’ scores in succession, all of which were failures.

The candidates all had long faces.

One of them, either unable to accept the blow or perhaps due to the heat, passed out on the spot, causing quite a stir.

However, the person in charge wasn’t affected at all and continued to announce results, “Tang Feng… jade artifacts intermediate assessment score: 100 points, pass!”

The previously chaotic scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe what had just happened.

With all the candidates in front of him being eliminated, the sudden emergence of a perfect score left many unable to wrap their heads around it.

It was a while before they began to discuss among themselves.

“A perfect score again? What kind of monster is this Tang Feng?”

“He’s the number one talent on Zhonghai Antique Street, he must have some real skills.”

“This isn’t just about being the number one talent on Zhonghai Antique Street; even within the entire Zhonghai Antique Circle, he must be regarded as a top-tier genius, right?”

“No wonder he can be on such good terms with Ouyang Yushan, indeed there is no undeserved reputation under great fame…”

The crowd was generous with their praise for Tang Feng.

A candidate who consistently scored perfect marks in the assessments was enough to earn everyone’s respect.

Of course, there were also some who were jealous or sour-grapes, making sarcastic remarks.

But these people were after all in the minority and could be ignored.

The person most surprised here had to be Zhong Pan’er.

During the assessment, she had stealthily followed behind Tang Feng, observing his methods of appraising jade artifacts.

But she found that the guy had no particular technique to speak of.

He merely lingered on each artifact for one or two seconds before moving on to the next one.

How could one be sure which were genuine and which were fakes without even completing a proper examination of the details?

Yet Tang Feng had done just that.

And with perfect marks, he had passed the assessment once more.

This could only be described as beyond belief.

“It’s still not too late to kneel down and ask to become my disciple,” Tang Feng suddenly appeared behind her, giving her a fright.

“Hmph, don’t be smug, I might not be that much worse than you,” Zhong Pan’er refused to accept defeat and retorted stubbornly.

“If you get more than eighty points this time, I’ll eat the exam papers,” Tang Feng didn’t conceal his sarcasm towards her.

“That’s what you said, remember your own words,” Zhong Pan’er glared at him, anxiously turning her gaze towards the person in charge.

The person in charge then announced a few more candidates’ scores, with only one barely passing the assessment with seventy points. The rest were all eliminated.

From this alone, one could see how difficult the assessment was.

“Zhong Pan’er…”

When the person in charge read out this name, all eyes among the candidates present focused on Zhong Pan’er.

This previously unknown girl had performed spectacularly today.

Even overshadowing Tang Feng for a while.

This naturally made everyone look forward to her results.

Zhong Pan’er was already nervous, and now being stared at expectantly by everyone made her feel immense pressure.

Her heart was in her throat.

“Zhong Pan’er, jade artifacts intermediate assessment score: 70 points, pass!”

“Wow…”

All present candidates exclaimed in amazement, their eyes filled with envy.

“My goodness, she passed again? Isn’t this girl too amazing?”

“Yeah, she had already cleared the preliminary assessment, and now she’s aiming to clear the intermediate?”

“Her observation time seemed to be only around five minutes, yet she managed a seventy percent accuracy rate, that’s incredible.”@@novelbin@@

“Tsk tsk tsk, she and Tang Feng could totally form a duo and make a debut, truly a matchless pair.”

“Exactly, not only are their appraisal skills strong, but they’re also a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they could totally join the entertainment industry.”

“They’re truly a match made in heaven…”

The endless praise from the crowd was very ironic in Zhong Pan’er’s ears.

Although she had passed the intermediate assessment, her score was barely sufficient.

The gap between her and Tang Feng’s perfect score was anything but small.

She lost, utterly and humiliatingly.

She didn’t even dare to look into Tang Feng’s eyes. He must be mocking her now, right?

Mocking her presumptuousness.

Mocking her arrogance.

The more she thought about it, the more stifled she felt. She couldn’t catch her breath, and suddenly the world went dark as she stumbled backward.

Luckily, Tang Feng was quick and caught her slender waist, preventing her from falling to the ground.

The surrounding candidates were stunned.

“What’s going on? Why does it seem like Zhong Pan’er is not satisfied with her score, to the point of fainting?”

“Can’t be right? Already passed the assessment and still not satisfied? Then what about us who were eliminated – should we even bother living?”

“Geniuses obviously think differently from us; to them, not getting a perfect score is a failure.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder they can become geniuses, this kind of standard is truly perverse…”

Tang Feng moved Zhong Pan’er to a shaded area and checked her pulse, finding nothing seriously wrong.

It was probably the heat combined with a surge of anger and frustration that caused her to faint.

Does this woman have to take it that seriously? Is it worth getting so worked up about not getting a perfect score?

After all, not every genius is named Tang Feng.

Zhong Pan’er had already come to but chose not to open her eyes, unwilling to see his smug expression.

Yet as she leaned against him, smelling the distinct masculine scent from his body, she felt somewhat uncomfortable and wanted to stealthily move away.

But Tang Feng held her firmly, giving her no chance to escape.

Zhong Pan’er suddenly felt a peculiar sensation she had never experienced before.

Could it be that this guy was deliberately taking advantage of her?
